Tim Rechner creates abstract art, instinctually and automatically. The themes in his work are: freedom, beauty, heartache, depression and optimism. Artwork made by small children is an important resource for the artist. Rechner also draws upon 20th century artists such as de Kooning, Gorky, Matta, Twombly, Basquiat, Riopelle and Borduas. Collaborative project between Tim Rechner and Patrick Arès-Pilon, 20' x 16'. The Poets Die Trying, oil and graphite on canvas, 24 x 36.
